The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight

The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width &amp; height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Jarrow Formulas SAM-e provides a full 200 mg SAM-e (net-yield) from 400 mg of SAM-e tosylate disulfate. SAM-e 200 is manufactured under low temperature and low humidity and is enteric-coated to ensure a biologically active product.

Contains More of the Active S,S Form

Found in all living cells, SAM-e is a metabolite of methionine (an essential amino acid). SAM-e is a chiral molecule and consists of two forms: (S,S) SAM-e and (R,S) SAM-e. The biologically active form is the (S,S) structure, while the (R,S) structure is biologically inactive. Jarrow Formulas SAM-e is made naturally by microbiological fermentation and then specially processed without solvents to preserve 68-80% (S,S) SAM-e, the highest active level available.

SAM-e has been clinically shown to have the following benefits:

Joint Strength

SAM-e supports the production of healthy connective tissue through transulfuration. In this process, critical components of connective tissue, including glucosamine and the chondroitin sulfates, are sulfated by SAM-e metabolites.

Brain Metabolism

SAM-e methylation reactions are involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as L-DOPA, dopamine and related hormones, epinephrine and phosphatidylcholine (a component of lecithin).

Liver

SAM-e metabolism supports the synthesis of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione-dependent enzymes (glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase), which are substances important for liver function.

Suggested Use

Take 1 tablet 1 or 2 times per day on an empty stomach or as directed by your qualified healthcare professional.

For best results, use with Jarrow Formulas JarroSil, the biologically Activated Silicon.

Warnings

Individuals using prescribed medications such as antidepressants, including selective serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and MAO inhibitors should consult a physician before using. Individuals with Parkinson's disease, bi-polar disorder or manic depression should no use SAM-e. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Do not exceed recommended intake. May cause gastrointestinal upset in some persons. If you experience discomfort, discontinue use.

Jarrow Formulas SAM-e 200 is foil blister-packed to maximize stability and safety. Do not use if outer seal of blister pack is broken.
